As far as load development is concerned, it is also important to minimise the vertical distribution of shots of the same load as far as possible.

This process can be explained meaningfully by making use of the following example.
The development of a load for a specific rifle is, however, often easier said than done! There is no easy technique and time on the shooting range is inevitable. The time on the shooting range should, however, be approached in the correct manner in order to ensure that the cost saving objective of reloading ammunition does in fact realise.
